Had the pleasure of shooting with the enthusiastic Jenna yesterday. She was a lot of fun to work with and kept up easily with my quick pace of changing locations and moving through poses so quickly. She was fabulous. We managed to cross over from one side of Victoria to the other in search of interesting locations and fabulous light and think we found some good spots. Jenna had a fabulous idea for posing in the alley so we tried that and it was amazing. (see below her flipping her hair down and adjusting her heels in the Fan Tam Alleyway). Super happy with the shoot. 🙂

I do hope you enjoy the video and if the response is positive will continue to do some behind the scenes videos of my model photo shoots.

I met up with Barbara today of Coultish Models to help her add some relaxed lifestyle photos to her portfolio. With the sun out and not a cloud in the sky and without an assistant to hold a scrim we decided to head into shade of the woods at Beaconhill Park. We found some shady spots to photograph the lifestyle, portrait and vlog shots. It was an absolute pleasure working with Barbara as she was so calm and patient as we got the right angles for the background and available light. I shot the entire hour with natural light and only used the reflector as a spot to kneel 🙂

Melissa Smith and I did a portfolio shoot in Bastion Square. Melissa’s a fabulous model working with Barbara Coultish Talent & Model Management here in Victoria BC. We had the opportunity to get in two outfits in a variety of locations using primarily natural light, some with a flash to help light her face but mainly natural light. Melissa was brave as the sun went into hiding and the wind picked up which meant the temperature plummeted but at least it didn’t rain. 🙂

Beautiful spring day photo shoot in the park with Ingrid. She had two looks to be photographed in. The first a simple green dress that we photographed against the beauty of Beaconhill Park and the second outfit was a more gritty urban themed outfit that we found some buildings to make it fit with the urban theme she was looking for.
